pdvd rsab did not function correctly. I believe it was built to use Xine and it looks like Quirky has mplayer. It ripped okay but I couldn't shrink a file and a had a few other glitches I did not record. but just a quick (not very helpful) note that pdvdrsab did not function properly.

Hi all,
@BarryK
Did my usual type of install with qrky-112, that is save the sfs and save files to an USB dongle, and boot from the CD.
On the second boot up every thing went O.K. quirky recognised the .3fs save file this time, except touchpad tapping is still not working. I had set one finger to left click in flSyclient prior to the first shut down.
flSynclient did open up with no complaints of missing files this time, but when I pressed the save button it highlighted but did not close the window, I had to hit the small x button to close the window, this might indicate the setting has not been saved.
This is with the Samsung X05 which as I reported previously touchpad tapping works under lupu 5.

I just thought it would be appropriate to include a link into this thread. At 1st blush, I don't think the acpi is working with the fan correctly.

Yes, the info there describes pretty much what happens on my system (intel dual core T23330) Its fine in 4.3, runs around 40-45 deg, but in Q1.2 just goes up steadily till I shut down at around 70deg. Would probably go higher if I let it.

Hmmm, could you please try this:

1.
In /root/Startup, change 'acpi' to not-executable (right click on it and choose Properties).
2.
In /etc/init.d, change 'rc.acpi' to not-executable.
3.
Reboot._________________http://bkhome.org/news/

Barry, I went ahead and tried that. The temp stayed at 63c idling or under good load. It never popped up a temp warning dialog box.

Without your tweak it would issue a warning in just a few minutes with temp 71c or more.

Just to let you know if you haven't caught up on the other thread, I copied the contents of start_cpu_freq over from my known good 4.31 setup and the temp went down to 48c idling and 55/63c when under good load.

It seems to me the CPU Frequency Scaling Tool needs some tweaking for Quirky as it failed in loading *any* module for my laptop whereas there was no problem in 4.31. I can't remember who maintains that one.

So in summary I don't think there is a problem with anything kernel / ACPI module wise. Just the tool needs a tweak.

I tried it with a full Quirky install and clicking refresh after
"de-executableizing" the 2 files, the cpu scaling was automatically
enabled to the same settings as the 3 other puppies I have
installed.

I still get the high temp warning on video streams, but the 70c
setting is about 4c low for full fan turn on with this laptop.

I had no problem using the net with sns; even though the little
blue globe in tray was saying I didn't have an active interface._________________

Now that I have the temp under control, this seems the best Puppy EVER. It can finally allow me to control the brightness of my screen using the FN key on my lappy. No other Puppy has ever been able to do that . Odd little things here and there, but hey, its Quirky, right?
Now here is interesting: with the temp control working, this is actually chewing through my laptop battery about 25% SLOWER than 4.3.1! 25% more run time...Yay! AND the filechooser dialogue is wholly visible._________________Spup Frugal HD and USB

my impression is that the update pets for sns are not in this quirky. i haven't been able to hold connection with my wifi in q112 sometime cant connect at all, then on switch to puppeeerc3.5 using pwireless2 it holds for hours even when not in use. consequently only minimal testing of q112._________________

I applied Barry's advice, but my laptop is still running hot.
I looked at the start_cpu_freq, but it's no code in the script file.
I looked at the one of the 4.3.1, but it's the same.
What is the use of a script file without code?

I tried to see at what speed the fan is running, but apparently I only have the indication 0 rpm.
Do I have to activate some mod?
Do you guys see at what speed the fan is running?_________________Time savers:
